Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a humidity control device which is an electric dehumidifier with a humidifying function added thereto.

Conventionally, this type of humidity control device has been divided into a dehumidifier and a humidifier, each of which has its own water container, and is sold as completely separate products.

The timing of when dehumidifiers and humidifiers are used is affected by the season; for example, when a dehumidifier is used, the humidifier is stored in a closet or storeroom.

For this reason, it is difficult to store, install, and handle the humidifier or dehumidifier, whichever is not used, in terms of storage, putting it in a closet, and taking it out of a storeroom.

An object of the present invention is to provide a humidity control device equipped with a water receptor that can be used for both humidification and dehumidification operations.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a compressor, 2 is a reheater, 3 is a cooler, and 4 is a blower, which are dehumidifying function parts using a refrigerant compression method.

5 is a dew pan provided below the cooler 3, and 6 is a water container.

7 is a water tank, 8 is a humidifier, 9 is an intake pipe, 10 is an air supply pipe,
These are humidifying functional parts.

11 is a mist outlet, 12 is a base configured in two stages, 13
is an atomization chamber provided directly above the water tank 7, and the atomization chamber 13 is connected to the intake pipe 9 and the air supply pipe 10.

The water tank 7 is attached to the lower part of the base 12, and the compressor 1 is attached to the upper part of the base.

Therefore, it can be installed without increasing the installation area.

Air in the air is convected by the blower 4 in the direction of the solid arrow, cooled and dehumidified by the cooler 3, and reheated by the reheater 2.

The dehumidified water is guided by the dew pan 2 and flows down into the water container 6.

The water flowing down into the water container 6 flows into the water tank 7 and is atomized by the humidifier 8.

A part of the indoor air convected by the blower 4 passes through the intake pipe 9, passes through the air supply pipe 10, and flows out from the mist outlet 11.

Since the atomization chamber 13 is connected to the intake pipe 9 and the air supply pipe 10, the mist generated in the humidifier 8 is effectively transferred to the mist outlet 11.
flows out from

The purpose of the humidity control device according to the present invention configured as described above is to reduce the area occupied by the finger attachment, to allow the water container to be shared, and to increase added value.

As shown in FIG. 1, the water tank 7 is attached to the lower tier of the base 12, which is structured in two tiers, and the compressor 1 is attached to the upper tier of the base 12, so that the compressor 1 can be assembled without increasing the installation area.

Next, the water container 6 according to the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

6-1 is the container body, 6-2 is the dehumidifying water intake, 6-3 is the humidifying water supply port, 6-4 is the water supply and drainage port, and the dehumidification water intake 62 and the water supply and drainage port 6-4 are connected to the container body 6- The humidifying water supply port 6-3 is provided at the bottom of the container body 6-1.

6-5 is a water supply and drainage cap that seals the water supply and drainage port 6-4;
-6 is a gasket placed inside the cap 6-5.

6-7 is a dehumidification/humidification switching cap used for sealing the dehumidification water intake port 6-2 and the humidification water supply port 6-3; 6-8 is a float placed in the dehumidification water several person compartment 62; A magnetic body is attached to the upper end and a part of the dehumidification/humidification switching cap 6-7, 610 is a valve attached to the humidifying water supply port 6-3, 6-11 is a spring, 6
-12 is an E-type retaining ring.

During dehumidification, as shown in Fig. 2, a dehumidification/humidification switching cap 6-7 is attached to the humidification water supply port 6-3 to seal it.
The dehumidifying water intake port 6-2 is opened, the inside of the container is emptied, and the dehumidifying device is assembled into the main body of the humidity adjusting device to perform dehumidifying operation.

When dehumidified water accumulates, the float 6-8 rises and the magnetic body 6-9
The dehumidifying operation is stopped in order to prevent overflow by operating a switch (not shown) built into the temperature control device.

During humidification, as shown in Fig. 3, the dehumidification/humidification switching cap 6-7 is attached to the dehumidification water intake port 6-2, and this is sealed, allowing the water used for humidification to be sufficiently large and placed in the water container 6. Incorporate into the humidity control device body.

At this time, the tip of the valve 6-10 of the water container 6 is pushed up by a protrusion (not shown) of the water tank 7, and humidification water flows into the water tank 7 from the humidification water supply port 6-3.

The water level in the water tank 7 never becomes higher than the lower end surface of the humidifying water supply port 6-3.

The magnetic body 6-9 provided on the dehumidification/humidification switching cap 6-7 operates the aforementioned switch (not shown), thus making dehumidification operation impossible due to misuse.

As explained above, the present invention includes a water container main body 6-1, a dehumidifying water intake port 6-2, a water supply/drainage port 6-4, and a humidifying water supply port 6-3.
The water container 6 can be humidified by replacing the dehumidification/dehumidification switching cap 6-7 with the magnetic material 6-9 with the humidification water supply port 6-3 and the dehumidification water intake port 6-2. It can be shared as a water container for driving and that for dehumidifying driving.
In addition, humidification and dehumidification operations can be performed reliably, making it effective for use throughout the year.
